I don't really mind having a new, younger crop of Ghostbusters, but I can't say I'm crazy about any of the suggestions above.

I think Steve Carell's deadpan style of humor might fit though. Or someone like Aasif Mandvi from the Daily Show. Or one of those stoner comedians like Doug Benson, who could probably bring a fun new perspective to the thing.

Ghostbusters 3 will be so in line with Beverly Hills Cop 3, Die Hard 4, Indiana Jones 4, Blues Brothers 2000, Terminator 3, and other terrible late sequels whose names just escape me.

I'm a fan of 3 of those films so further proof that the loud minority internet haters aren't 'right' about them.
I don't care to change your mind, just don't make a blanket statement as if this were a truth.

Can't see that where I am, sorry. It's geolocked. My point however is that the movies aren't built on a foundation of low-brow humour. And I just saw GB on Halloween, and there was nothing remotely low-brow about it.

The fact that it was written as a vehicle for John Belushi should give an indication of the type of humor they were going for. I believe I've posted my picks for a new crop of Ghostbusters but in case no one saw those:

Will Smith is definitely out of the question considering his salary (and probably unwillingness to appear in someone else's franchise), but way back when GB3 was first being tossed around, the proposed idea was for Will Smith, Ben Stiller and Chris Farley.

Well, there is that, but I still wouldn't call the GB movies low-brow. It's rather tame by comparison. It's not like they were going out of their way to write something crass.

I have had a crush on Christy since I saw her as Shia's older sister on "Even Stevens" and then cemented it when I discovered she was the voice of Kim Possible! I could see her as playing maybe a student or Egon's protege that he has met through some physics teaching job he has taken at Empire Sate or Columbia.

Bill Murray did an interview with Howard Stern where he revealed he's yet to read the latest draft of the "Ghostbusters III" script that Ivan Reitman sent him. Doesn't consider it a priority, knows that he is the main holdup in getting this finally greenlit, still seems bitter and disappointed in how "Ghostbusters II" turned out and this might be one of the reasons why he's hesitant about doing another one. He feels kind of bad and realizes that fans and the studio want another movie. Bill also states that he knows that the studio would prefer doing a complete reboot. It's pretty interesting.
